No. 51. The Cradled Briton
The cradled Briton, for the seas design'd
Thrives on the waves, and hardens in the wind,
Down from the Mast his childhood smiling spies
The level ocean into mountains rise,
He reads, an early book, the heavenly frame,
And lisps each Constellation by it's name.
Thus master of the stars that o're him glow
He portions out the watry waste below.
Thrives on the waves, and hardens in the wind,
Down from the Mast his childhood smiling spies
The level ocean into mountains rise,
He reads, an early book, the heavenly frame,
And lisps each Constellation by it's name.
Thus master of the stars that o're him glow
He portions out the watry waste below.
